Look, we all know what can be done here. We all know what html is. But there is a difference between we doing what we know and we following the instructions of someone else, without knowing what it does. I got no issue what so ever with any of you saying that this can be blocked with plugin X or Y. Because ppl still need to understand how html works to figure out how to block it. But giving detailed instructions to go against what NQ intended, to ppl that dont understand what those instructions do, does not feel right to me. You are all grown-ups, do what ever you want with your account. But for those who dont understand html: Its just a sidebar, it has no damn impact on your browsing. Just express your dislike of it to NQ and they will remove it. Just dont go do stuff you dont understand...

Do i need to be a mod to raise my concerns about this solution?

I said the warning I wanted to say. You guys do what ever you want.

I'm not gonna make a big deal out of this, because @GraXXoR is probably right. But this is not a 3rd party banner you are blocking. This is part of a site. In a way you are using a site you agreed to use but blocking part of it. If this makes any kind of data from being correctly compiled and transmitted, this is technically hacking. And again, there is probably nothing wrong with blocking a div. But I would definitely involve the CM into this before starting to "hack". Like, do it at your own risk, but don't advice other ppl to do it...

Not really sure how does blocking part of a website (and not a 3rd party advertising) stands, not only on the forum rules, but also in the legal playground.

I believe its up to Nvidia team to add this game to their platform. Have you made this question into their forums? Because the technology works fine. I'm able to put my nvidia gtx 1080 on my desktop streaming DU perfectly, via my network, to my laptop. I have even done this on top of openvpn, playing 350km away from my desktop. And it worked fine. So, for real, Ask Nvidia team to add it, not NQ.

Quite amazing how i should "get" your point of view without you providing arguments to support it. And its not my "personal" anything. The open-source community pretty much have the same opinion as i do about MS's monopoly. But please tell me how would forcing MS to publicly disclose all new OS APIs available in advance, would hurt competition? Please note that im not asking for their code, just its technical discription.

For a program to run in windows it already has to follow a standard. One that is controled by MS. Does this standard kill innovation or reduce competition? Why not make the current windows exe and dll standard as the official standard? But at the same time prevent MS from making stealth alterations to it to break compatibility? Making every future alteration to .exe standard require a full public disclosure would already help programs like wine being able to run executables after the changes happen. In time we could have different versions of that standard but instead of having to reverse engineer how those versions work, the wine team would be legally informed about those versions before those were even implemented.

Nope. I just say that the choice of the operating system should not interfere with the choice of the aplication you want to use. Those are 2 distinct markets. It lowers competition and makes users have less choices. Op is suffering from this problem. His choice of OS reduced his choices of gaming. I proposed a possible solution. And it may not be the best one. It its better than "just accept the monopoly and serve MS share holders forever"

Apparently this happens in multipage topics.

Maybe that's the paid content plan. If you want the cool skins for engines, use DACs to buy them

But I don't insult them 1st

We already have several standards. Wine uses one to run windows programs. Windows 10/win 2019 uses another to run WSL and docker. So its more about imposing it via regulation then actual technical challenge. Java and python could work well for low CPU apps. But you won't see C++'s performance in a java program. And python is a script. Each instruction will translate in 10 or more machine instructions. Those 2 languages are not capable of replacing low level programming language's speeds. But let's say we find a new language, running on a new subsystem, that can actually match c++ in performance. No way, programmers would quit their favorite programming language to follow a standard. And let's face it, Some programming languages are better suited for some tasks than others. Of course, they did.... their idea is not to bring Windows apps to Linux. But to bring Linux apps to windows... And we all know Linux is all about non GUI. But my idea is not about companies finding a way to do it out of their own will. My idea is to make it mandatory by law. Like cellphone standards. Making MS pay heavily until they positively contribute to a standard and adopt it. Sure, there will always be exceptions, But make them pay heavily for not using the standard. Say that DU was made in this new standard. Running on any OS that followed the standard. On their view, their game was ready for all operating systems, without extra costs. So why would they choose an anti-cheat technology that only works on Windows? In time, anti-cheat programs would find a way to follow the standard or port their technology to low market share OSes. Stuff like "c:" and "registry" would not be a part of the standard. We already have standards where those are not a part. Browsers don't care about "C:" definitely don't care about "\" instead of "/" When defining 5G, all industry manufactures had to make compromises of stuff they wanted to add to the standard. At the end, they made an agreement of what would be on and off. If the "registry" is a good thing, maybe other OS providers will agree with them and make it part of the standard. If not, they will have to change.

If you want a full account wipe, including constructs and talent points being back to 0, you have to open a support ticket on the support site asking for it.

After the attempt to ridicularize and the insult, now you do the report. Fine. How does this have nothing to do with the OP's topic? The op wants Linux support(in some kind of form, even if emulated) Everyone reached the conclusion that Linux does not have support, because of bad market share. I proposed a solution (not applicable by NQ) to the problem: executable binaries should have a open standard instead of being locked to a OS. You may not like or agree with my solution but its definitly on topic.

Im talking about cellphones connecting to operator antenas. Not the antenas that are inside the cell phones.. Standards exist and in allot of technologies. All im saying is that compiled executables could have a standard. And they already do. But each OS has its standard instead of a common one.

The truth?

Its not? So you have 3 operating systems running on the same cpu architecture (x86-64) using the same PCIe devices. all 3 OS use a screen, a mouse and a keyboard. All are desktop oriented. All have an X to close the window. All minimize to some kind of tray bar. So what is the big showstopper for having a standard here?

For the same reason that Samsung Smart phones have to work with Huawei's antennas.

Yes. Me and others considered. Then we found MS spending extra money, in doing extra code, and paying fines just to make sure things stayed incompatible. So, yes we considered it. And we found it to be false.

Fortunately neither you nor blaze call the shots on when discussions end. Its quite clear that opting for the alternative of windows results on allot of aplications not working, including this game. You can blame the lack of support on market share. But with other technologies, rules were made to prevent this. All mobile phones work with all mobile antena manufactures. Several standards were created to prevent companies being able force customers to choose from a reduced number of manufacturers. Programs in binary format also need a standard. One that makes everyone using the standard to program, have their programs working on every operating system using a standard.

Here is an article with interesting quotes. https://www.zdnet.com/article/judge-rules-that-microsoft-must-be-split-in-two/ Here is an interesting one: 'Chief antitrust lawyer Joel Klein hailed the ruling. "When the remedy is implemented, customers and consumers will decide for themselves what software they want to purchase. ... Neither a monopolist nor the government can dictate that choice.'
